I think they did a pretty good job sizing this all up. Although Cincinnati-style chili would have been a better choice than Buckeyes for Ohio. What do you think?

I knew what my home state of West Virginia's was going to be before I even opened the thread. Had many a pepperoni roll growing up. They're great with cheese in them.
Shrimp and grits is great, too!

Are those pepperoni rolls like the ones Kroger sells? Hard to tell with the pic being as small as it is. If so they are awesome.

22 years in Connecticut and I have never heard of that pizza.

It keeps getting designations as the best pizza in USA from some NY-based websites. I am anxious to try it out but my Connecticut clients haven't booked me in awhile.

There are so many variations of pepperoni rolls, but the Kroger ones are one kind, yes.

There is a chain down here in Texas called Double Daves that uses their 'Peproni Rolls' as their big differentiator. My kids are big fans. We watch Texans games after church there.

WV is also known for its slaw hot dogs. Pepperoni rolls are mostly in the northern part of the state, up near Morgantown.

Naturally.
I like slaw on my BBQ, never had on a hot dog. Will be trying soon.

Chili, onions, slaw, and mustard are what's on a WV hot dog.

Same as an NC dog.

I will say that in WV convenience stores, they do sell a lot of pepperoni rolls: it's the perfect food to eat while driving.
As to WV hot dogs, I've never eaten there, but this place in legendary in my home state:
Hillbilly Hot Dogs seems to be in the news quite a bit fighting with the government and neighbors. Didn't the Governor try to get them to change their name a few years ago?
I go to Alaska frequently for work. But I have never seen or heard of salmon candy. Perhaps I will have to look harder next time.
And for the record, Huckleberry pie in Montana is awesome. In fact, everything huckleberry is phenomenal.

I have never once seen any Delawareian put vinegar on a French fry. They use either ketchup or Old Bay that's it.

Boarwalk fries. I'll admit, I've never been to a beach in Delaware but I've been to a boardwalk in maryland and there's several places to get vinegar fries.

Boardwalk Fries and Trasher's but no locals ever use vinegar, you use Old Bay and nothing else.
Edit: And there's no reason to go to a beach in DE, you may as well just take the ferry to Cape May or drive a little farther south and go to OCMD.

The vinegar fries are made by soaking them in vinegar before they are fried.

Oh so that's how they make them like that. WOW that's sad as long as I've eaten Thrashers fries I didn't know how they actually made them.

I'd have to agree with Sly about the Cinci chili in Ohio -- FAR more ubiquitous than buckeye candy, IMO. Could probably have also gone with the pork tenderloin sandwich or the odd (to me, anyway) combination of chips and pizza.

This is false. You use both Old Bay and malt vinegar. You must have missed that class.
